Too much can cause root rot and wet feet, while too little can lead to dry limbs and dead leaves. When your shrubs are weak from improper Watering, they are more susceptible to pests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Feed Your Shrubs<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Providing the proper nutrients to your plants in the fall can lead to improved health and resilience during the cold months. In addition, feeding your shrubs the right mix of supplements and fertilizers can help keep them more robust and less volatile to pesky pests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Consider Biological Controls<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Natural pest control can include predatory insects and is one way to keep your shrubs healthy and bug-free. Ladybugs are an example of an insect that can help keep other pests off your ornamental shrubs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Talk to a Pro<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the best ways to fight pests on your ornamental shrubs during the winter is with guidance from a professional.
